Summary
Themes
Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.What God intends to use as an instrument of blessing, the enemy attempts to misuse as an avenue of brokenness.
- 2.Family is the first institution God created, designed to form identity, develop character, teach responsibility, and provide safety.
- 3.Spiritual passion and sincerity do not automatically equate to relational wisdom or healthy family management.
- 4.Selective conflict avoidance occurs when someone is courageous in public battles but passive regarding dysfunction in their own household.
- 5.You cannot fix what you cannot face, nor can you reform what you do not recognize.
- 6.Trauma and family wounds may shape parts of your story, but they do not hold the pen to write the rest of your life.
- 7.It is essential to release responsibility for other people's ungoverned appetites and choices while taking responsibility for your own healing.

Sermon Moments
“What God intends to use as an instrument of blessing, the enemy attempts to misuse as an avenue of brokenness.”
“Spiritual sincerity and spiritual passion doesn't mean relational wisdom.”
“He will run to a giant with a slingshot but will not correct his own son.”
“You can't fix what you can't face. You can't reform what you don't recognize.”
“I'm not acting like my history didn't happen, but my history cannot have the final word on my identity.”
“Just because they're family doesn't mean they're safe. And just because they were in your life doesn't mean they have a right to stay.”
“Prayer and counseling are not competitors. They don't compete. They cooperate.”
“Healing isn't just the absence of pain. Healing is the presence of flourishing.”
